The core competency that I used the most is personal awareness and responsibility.

I persevered with one of the most challenging tasks I have ever had to deal with: taking Calculus 12 and Pre-Calculus 12 at the same time. There were times where I had to teach myself the required Pre-Calculus units in order to be able to keep with whatever we were learning in Calculus. Despite starting off with less-than-desirable marks, I eventually got the hang of it and improved my grades. Learning from home allowed me to rearrange my schedule in a way that allowed me to study more for quizzes and tests.

I created a couple of strategies in order to deal with stress. In order to deal with stress, I would slowly breathe in and out ten times before assessments. I would sometimes take a break from studying before assessments. During the quarantine, if I was really stressed I would do my homework the next day.
